It looks like you are safely in the zone for the second shipment. Assuming of course that they will receive a similarly sized quantity (3000+) next week. With the amount of people still waiting its probably a safe assumption. Good luck!

No problem! I thought the original post was pretty clear, but for some reason a little critical information kept being left out on the responses. I know I'm guilty of just skimming though a post and not quite "getting it". No harm done. I hope you get your delivery early next week. Even though mine has already shipped, it won't arrive until tuesday... 3 day shipping...what was I thinking!

Yeah, it was mine that was the 544XX, and it's in hand. Lucky, I guess. B&H said April 2nd for the next order, but bearing in mind they covered a few thousand, and that after 555xx, you're going to be mixing other orders for non- 5D3s in, I'd wager anyone who ordered on the first day will be fine. They will have ordered as much as they can to meet demand, so may even get more than their first allocation.

I ordered around 6:15 on the 2nd (554xx). Still backordered. Wish they even gave you an estimated time. If they don't ship it by the 5th I will have to cancel my order if I can find it anywhere else. They are shutting down from the 6th-15th. I have my first born due on the 3rd (or sooner!) and would really like to have the mk iii.
